This Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy piece of construction equipment designed to create flat, graded surfaces for road building, site preparation, and finish grading of earthwork. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and mining machinery, with a long-standing reputation for producing durable, high-performance equipment used across civil engineering, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure development. This example was built in 2014 and is located in Colorado, USA, offered at $240,000.
Power comes from a Cat C9.3 engine rated at 252 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, paired with a 24-volt, 150-amp electrical system and a 150-amp alternator with extra-heavy-duty batteries. An ECO mode is fitted to help manage fuel consumption during lighter-duty operation, and an ether starting aid supports cold-weather starts. The machine also comes equipped with a cold weather package and a low-ambient global arrangement, reflecting configuration for operation in demanding environmental conditions. Supplemental steering is provided via a circle clutch arrangement.
The grading assembly centres on a 14-foot by 24-inch by 7/8-inch moldboard with 8-inch by 3/4-inch curved cutting edges and end bits fitted without overlay. A ripper/scarifier is included as a Base + 1 configuration, with additional hydraulic lines routed for the ripper. A drawbar is fitted, and a counterweight push plate is mounted to the front. Auto differentials with lock/unlock capability are specified, along with disc brakes and a transmission guard.
The cab is equipped with air conditioning, heating, defrost, and a rear defroster fan, along with a engine coolant heater rated at 120 volts. The operator seat is air-suspension cloth, complemented by a headliner, floor mat, and a rear skylight hatch. Visibility aids include a rearview mirror, outside heated 24-volt mirrors, sun shade, standard glass, a rear wiper and washer, and a rear window. Instrumentation is handled by the Cat Messenger cluster, and the onboard communication converter and Electronic Information System (EIS) are included alongside an online owner's manual. The AM/FM, weather band, Bluetooth radio and a 12-volt power port complete the cab fitout.
Lighting is extensive: front headlights in low configuration, halogen working lights in a Plus arrangement, heel-mounted 3x3 work lights, midframe toe work lights, auxiliary lighting, a federal light bar, a warning light mounting, and an SMV sign. Safety provisions include ROPS/FOPS certification, a travel alarm, and a seat belt. A Sy-Klone precleaner is fitted to the air intake, and hydraulic oil is specified as 10W. The spare rim is a 14-inch by 25-inch multi-piece unit. A toolbox is mounted on the machine, and the hitch guard group is included. The machine is sold as-is/as-received, with English (U.S.) decals throughout.
